The heartwood of Gaboon ebony (Diospyros spp.) is usually jet black, with little to no variation or visible grain. Occasionally dark brown or grayish-brown streaks may be present. Can be difficult to work due to its extremely high density. Has a dulling effect on cutters. Tear-out may occur on pieces that have interlocked or irregular grain. Takes finishes well, and finishes to a high luster. Ebony is commonly used for small ornamental purposes, such as piano keys, musical instrument parts, pool cues, carvings. Great for knobs, pulls, inlays and accents in cabinetry. Somewhat difficult to machine, but worth the reward. Excellent turning wood. Africa.

Jet black

Finishes to a high luster

Straight grain

Very durable

High density

Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.

Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

Thin Stock. The thin stock is cut to size from quality, kiln-dried stock. Dimensions are +/- 1/8" of size listed.

It worked great for the 1/4" black inlay I needed for some ladybug trinket boxes. It should be noted the sides are not flat or parallel, which is fine for turning blanks.......but if you are sawing to flat boards, you will have to straighten the faces somehow. This is the best source for small quantities of black ebony I have found.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased these wood strips to use for ebony plugs on some Greene and Greene style wood wall lamps I am making. They worked very well. Thanks!!
